In the heart of the Himalayas, Nepalese artisans combine a traditional process of ancient paper making with modern fashion and style. The result is a high quality paper product prized for its superior strength, durability and rich texture.
This Nepalese paper is made from the bark of the Lokta plant that is found in the foothills of the Himalayas. The Daphne plant locally known as "Lokta" grows in abundance at altitudes over 6500 feet. Removing only the bark from the Lokta actually promotes new growth and is beneficial to the plant. The controlled harvest of the Lokta ensures a sustainable and eco-friendly paper making process.
This natural product is 100% handmade using local raw material, simple technology and ancient skills. These products are made by women co-operatives and small cottage industry in Nepal which employs mostly women.

Blue Distinction® designations measure the delivery of quality and cost-efficient cardiac procedures
EAGAN, Minn. (July 15, 2013) — Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota today congratulates 11 Minnesota hospitals for delivering quality cardiac care as part of the national Blue Distinction Centers for Specialty Care® program. These hospitals have been designated either as Blue Distinction Centers® for delivering quality care, or as Blue Distinction Centers+ SM for delivering quality care while also meeting key requirements for cost-efficiency.
In 2006, the Blue Distinction Centers for Specialty Care program was developed to help patients find quality providers for specialty care by identifying hospitals that meet objective, transparent, and nationally consistent measures developed with input from the medical community.
To receive a Blue Distinction Center for Cardiac Care® designation, a hospital must demonstrate success in meeting both general quality and safety criteria (such as preventing hospital-acquired infections) and cardiac-specific quality measures (related to lower rates of complications and death following cardiac surgery; and non-surgical procedures, such as cardiac stent placement).
Hospitals receiving the Blue Distinction Center+ for Cardiac CareSM designation, a new designation level added to the program this year, have met the Blue Distinction Centers standards for quality, while also demonstrating better cost efficiency relative to their peers.
Quality is key: only those facilities that first meet Blue Distinction's nationally established, objective quality measures will be considered for designation as a Blue Distinction Center+.
Minnesota facilities recognized as Blue Distinction Centers and/or Blue Distinction Centers+ (indicated by the plus symbol) for cardiac care include:
• Abbott Northwestern Hospital (Allina), Minneapolis
• Fairview Southdale Hospital, Edina
• HealthEast St. Joseph's Hospital, St. Paul (+)
• Mayo Clinic St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester
• Mercy Hospital (Allina), Coon Rapids (+)
• North Memorial Health Care, Robbinsdale (+)
• Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital, St. Louis Park (+)
• Regions Hospital, St. Paul (+)
• St. Luke's Hospital, Duluth
• United Hospital, St. Paul (+)
• University of Minnesota Medical Center Fairview, Minneapolis (+)
"This exceptional group of providers has met the highest clinical standards for cardiac care," said Dr. Larry Lee, executive medical director for provider relations and quality at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota. "I want to congratulate them for their 2013 Blue Distinction designation and ensuring that Blue Cross members have access to clinical excellence throughout Minnesota."
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, claiming nearly 600,000 lives each year. Cardiac procedures, including bypass and cardiac stent placement, are among the most common major medical procedures provided by the US health care system, with more than 1 million procedures performed annually. These cardiac related procedures cost the nation more than $28 billion annually. The Blue Distinction Centers for Specialty Care program seeks to reduce this burden, by empowering patients with the knowledge and tools to find both quality and value for their cardiac care needs.
Research shows that Blue Distinction Centers demonstrate better quality and improved outcomes for patients, with lower rates of complications following certain cardiac procedures and lower rates of healthcare associated infections, compared with their peers.
The Blue Distinction Centers for Specialty Care program identifies hospitals delivering quality care in bariatric surgery, cardiac care, complex and rare cancers, knee and hip replacements, spine surgery, and transplants. These specialty areas comprise approximately 30 percent of inpatient hospital expenditures. For more information about the program and for a complete listing of the designated facilities, please visit www.bcbs.com/bluedistinction.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota ( bluecrossmn.com ), with headquarters in the St. Paul suburb of Eagan, was chartered in 1933 as Minnesota's first health plan and continues to carry out its charter mission today: to promote a wider, more economical and timely availability of health services for the people of Minnesota. A nonprofit, taxable organization, Blue Cross is the largest health plan based in Minnesota, covering 2.9 million members in Minnesota and nationally through its health plans or plans administered by its affiliated companies. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, headquartered in Chicago.
Blue Distinction® Centers met overall quality measures for patient safety and outcomes, developed with input from the medical community. Blue Distinction® Centers+ also met cost measures that address consumers' need for affordable healthcare. Individual outcomes may vary. National criteria are displayed on www.bcbs.com. A Local Blue Plan may require additional criteria for facilities located in its own service area. To find out which services and providers (including hospital based physicians) are covered under your policy, or to learn about Local Blue Plan Criteria, contact your Local Blue Plan; and contact your provider before making an appointment to verify its current Network and Blue Distinction Centers status. Each hospital's Cost Index is calculated separately, based on data from its Local Blue Plan. Hospitals in portions of CA, ID, NY, PA, and WA may lie in areas served by two Local Blue Plans, resulting in two Cost Index figures; and their own Local Blue Plans decide whether all hospitals in these areas must meet Blue Distinction Centers+ national criteria for one or both Cost Index figures. Neither Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association nor any Blue Plans are responsible for damages, losses, or non-covered charges resulting from Blue Distinction or other provider finder information or care received from Blue Distinction or other providers. To find out more, contact your Local Blue Plan.

Owners, players bleeding green as NHL lockout drags on
By Stu Hackel
The meter keeps running on monetary losses as the NHL lockout enters its second month and chews into the regular season. With both sides at an impasse on how to divide the revenue of this thriving business — or at least it was a thriving business; perhaps soon we'll be writing "once-thriving business" — there's nothing coming in from the games not being played and players' salaries aren't being paid.
The players' first paychecks were to be issued on Monday, Oct. 15 although they'll be getting money from the escrow fund before the month is over. Players who got big signing bonuses this summer are doing just fine financially. The 125 or so who are playing in Europe are getting something as well, if only to cover their insurance costs, but at least they're working and glad about it. The 70 or so in the AHL are getting paid, too. As for the rest, probably about 500 guys, here's hoping that they've socked away some money.
Much has been made about the amount that players are losing by not agreeing to whatever offer from ownership is on the table, regardless of whether it is fair. Early in the lockout, Gary Bettman and Bill Daly began pointing out that, after a while, the players would be better off financially if they accept the pay cuts the league is offering rather than than lose even more by not being paid as games continue to be cancelled.
Some have taken up that line of thinking, including the website for Sportsnet, the Canadian regional cable TV sports conglomerate owned by the Rogers media empire, which is also an ownership partner in the Maple Leafs. The NHL Lockout Clock on Sportsnet.ca keeps a running tally of dollars forfeited by the players as the lockout rolls on. (Interestingly, Rogers' partner in the Leafs, Bell Media, is not engaging in anything like that on its TSN.ca website).
Whatever Sportsnet's and Rogers' intent in publicizing those lost salaries might be, it's really only one side of the story because, after all, the owners aren't making money without games, either. How much are they losing? That's much, much harder to figure out. Only they know for sure. Players' individual salaries are public knowledge. Franchise bottom lines are not. Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly has estimated that the league took a $100 million bath from the loss of the preseason and waved goodbye to another $100-$150 million when the first two weeks of the regular schedule went up in smoke.
The best we can do trying to figure out the specifics of lost revenue to date, five days into the season, is make an educated guess by cobbling together information that is available, such as potential gate receipts. What teams take in at the box office is not the entire picture, of course, not by a long shot. Owners also get revenue from radio and TV deals, local corporate sponsors, in-arena concessions, parking fees, local merchandise licensing agreements and a host of other things. Plus, they get a share of the deals the league makes by selling national media rights, sponsorships and retail licenses. There's lots that goes into that $3.3 billion business.
It's often said, however, that hockey is a gate receipts business, and that's because among all those revenue streams, the most lucrative for a club is what it takes in at the door. So as long as Sportsnet has started calculating what players have lost game by game, let's also take as good a look as possible at what teams may have missed in gate receipts during the first five days of the lockout.
The information on this list below is very imprecise. The figures are based on last season's average ticket price per team as compiled by Team Marketing Report and reprinted by Igor Burdetskiy on his Hooked On Hockey blog. Big thanks go out to him. (It's a pretty revealing list just by itself and you might want to look at the wide disparity between what the average ticket price for a Maple Leafs game is compared to the Dallas Stars, but I digress.) Because the figures on the TMR table are not this season's average ticket prices, that's a flaw in my calculations, although considering that they generally rise, you can assume that the actual figures will be a bit higher. The math is pretty simple — probably the most I'm capable of — and you can play along at home and do it yourself: average ticket price times seating capacity (I got that figure from the 2012-13 NHL Guide and Record Book, a great volume that everyone should own) gives me the estimated gate receipts for a single sold out game, times the number of home games that a team has played.
So here's a ballpark figure of what the owners have lost at the gate for the first 22 games not played through Sunday. (In parenthesis is an estimate of how much each club could potentially bring in for a single regular season game.)
Anaheim (2 games @ $634,407.56 per) — $1,268,815.12
Boston (0 games @ $1,035,281.10) — $0
Buffalo (1 game @ $728,241.75) — $728,241.75
Calgary (1 game @ $1,315.316.91) — $1,315.316.91
Carolina (1 game @ $776,714.40) — $776,714.40
Chicago (1 game @ $1.098,631.24) — $1.098,631.24
Colorado (2 games @ $731.444.34) — $1,462,888.68
Columbus (0 games @ $870.004.80) — $0
Dallas (0 games @ $555,033.40) — $0
Detroit (1 game @ $1,069,116.48) — $1,o69,116.48
Edmonton (0 games @ $1,180,919.07) — $0
Florida (1 game @ $948,616.80) — $948,616.80
Los Angeles (1 game @ $940,686.56) — $940,686.56
Minnesota (1 game @ $1,131,348.32) — $1,131,348.32
Montreal (1 game @ $1,886,276.91) — $1,886,276.91
Nashville (1 game @ $873,447.52) — $873,447.52
New Jersey (1 game @ $808,282.50) — $808,282.50
New York Islanders (1 game @ $796,440.04) — $796,440.04
New York Rangers (0 games @ $1,204,840) — $0
Ottawa (1 game @ $1,063,183.03) — $1,063,183.03
Philadelphia (1 game @ $1,306,896.82) — $1,306,896.82
Phoenix (1 game @ $619,068.75) — $619,068.75
Pittsburgh (1 game @ $1,159,484.22) — $1,159,484.22
St. Louis (0 games @ $796,065.50) — $0
San Jose (0 games @ $873,358.26) — $0
Tampa Bay (0 games @ $745,469.34) — $0
Toronto (1 game @ $2,329,227.63) — $2,329,227.63
Vancouver (1 game @ $1,293,065.80) — $1,293,065.80
Washington (1 game @ $1,155,144.52) — $1,155,144.52
Winnipeg (1 game @ $1,474,443.08) — $1,474,443.08
That comes to around $25.5 million. It's a lot of money, and we're only 22 games into the season. Washington, Calgary, San Jose and Vancouver were scheduled to play at home on Monday and, after that, there are still 1,189 games and hundreds of millions of dollars to go.
I know, I know. I'm assuming that all these games would be sold out. Well, for one thing, home openers often are, but regardless, if a game is played at a building that's, say, only 90 percent full, the owner still would have lost 10 percent of his potential gate receipts on that night. Now he's losing 100 percent. Perhaps that's shaky methodology; I suppose I could have factored in an additional stat to compensate for that, like last year's percentage capacity attendance, which ESPN compiles. But one reason I didn't is that those figures are based on turnstile numbers, the total people in the building. They don't factor in giveaway and discounted tickets (and that can be a big number in some arenas), so ESPN.com's numbers don't reflect the real box office gate receipts number. That's proprietary information and something that teams and the NHL guard very closely.
But even if you want to assume 90 percent capacity for these first games, which is less than the NHL average, the losses would be around 23 million — still a huge amount. Quadruple that for the 82 games already canceled and it could roughly fit into Bill Daly's estimate of $100 million to $125 million in total revenue lost.
No, this is not a perfect picture of the damage the owners have done to themselves — and when you factor in all their other revenue streams, it's far from complete. But if you can derive a better method for getting a sense of what is being lost, I'm happy to hear about it.
The point of this little exercise, however, is to show that both sides are getting hurt here, not just the players. The absurdity of what the owners are doing to their own business reminds me of the infamous and sad statement made in 1968 by a misguided U.S. Army officer in South Vietnam who, speaking about a city called Bến Tre, told AP correspondent Peter Arnett that "it became necessary to destroy the town to save it."
The owners may be counting on the players feeling the financial pinch of missed paychecks as well as concern for the time lost on their careers, expecting them to eventually give in. The players may believe that lost revenue is going to cause some owners, maybe a lot of them, to assess the damage to their business and say, "It's just not worth it." Which will come first and when? Who knows? Negotiations continue in Toronto on Tuesday as the wreckage piles up.

This dashing contemporary Dublin hotel on the river side of the International Financial Services Centre was the first in the area to be built specifically for the mature 'city' district and its high standards and central location have proved very popular with leisure guests, as well as business guests and the financial community, especially at weekends.
Bright, airy and spacious, the style is refreshingly clean-lined yet comfortable, with lots of gentle neutrals and a somewhat eastern feel that is emphasised by the food philosophy of the hotel - a waft of lemongrass and ginger in the open plan public areas entices guests through to the Kudos Bar, where Asian wok cooking is served; the smart casual Kudos Restaurant also features world cuisine, but with more European influences.
Uncluttered suites and bedrooms have everything the modern traveller could want, including a high level of security, air conditioning, generous semi-orthopaedic beds and excellent bathrooms with top quality toiletries.
There is a sense of thoughtful planning to every aspect of the hotel, and helpful, well-trained staff show a real desire to ensure the comfort of guests.
Clarion Hotel Dublin IFSC was our Business Hotel of the Year in 2002.
Rooms 179 (7 suites, 25 executive, 150 no smoking, 8 disabled, 5 family rooms). B&B €142.50 pps. Room rate €285.

Great New Chef – Recently eaten here several times on a Sunday . Well we were pleasantly surprised!! Apparently there is a new chef who really has some skill. The specials were great and reasonably priced. The chef out did himself and we sent compliments to him. Chef Jesse came out to thank us and was happy to hear we would be back. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!!!
Heard there is new ownership – I heard through the grape vine that Truffles is under new ownership or is under contract. I live in the area and we need a nice place, possibly with some music on the weekends. If this rumor is true best of luck to the place, and we will be in soon.
Real Food ! Excellent Value! – The food is prepared to order, by a formally trained chef. Yes, Chef Bari is back! I have dined here for ten years and always enjoyed my meals but then there's that something extra special when you just know Chef Bari has prepared your dish.

Its great again – I cant beleive the last review..some people are never happyand push things out of proportion.. We have been going there a lot with my church group. We went there a while ago then food took a drop, and now it seems they have talent in the kitchen. We were a group of 26 and had the best time. I had the steak and Wife had the flounder. The owner think name is Camil said she has new chefs, and just a generaly warm lady. I loved everything, the waitress was nice , but with it being her 2nd week there she said ,I think she will get better as she learns.
Bad food! – Bad food, ignorant staff, hair in food, waitress fingers in food, meal terrible. Manager rude when complained about bowl of water that was to be pasta in sauce. Skip this place and go elswehere-save yourself the money as they'lly blame you, the waitress the blue moon rather than apologize for bad food. And t hey'll stick you with the bill for hairy, neaten food. Call the the health dept.

Pumping milk from the breast isn't like sucking fluid through a straw -- more suction doesn't equal more milk. Instead, nursing depends on "letdown," the milk ejection reflex, which is triggered by touch and emotions, and mediated by hormones. When letdown occurs, muscles in the breast contract and the ducts widen, pushing milk toward the nipple. You may feel tingling or a sudden heaviness in your breasts. Unfortunately, anxiety, tension, and distraction can interfere with the flow of milk. In order to successfully pump, you will need to feel relaxed and in the nursing groove.
Benefits of pumping at work
But how do you actually make it happen?
Finding a place to pump at work
Workplaces vary tremendously in their accommodations for breastfeeding moms. The best scenarios are having your baby with you at work, a childcare center on site, or a pumping room with hospital-grade electric pumps provided, but unfortunately, these opportunities are only rarely available.
To set up the best arrangements for your needs, it may be helpful to talk with your employer beforehand about pumping accommodations. An office with a door that closes is enough for some dedicated nursing moms. Some women still find themselves sneaking off to their cars or to the bathroom (the handicapped stall has the most room and often has a shelf for supplies) -- though if you want to avoid using the public bathroom, try reminding your supervisor that you wouldn't prepare food there. Your colleagues may provide support by helping protect you when you are pumping or by loaning you a private location.
Finding time to pump at work
Some jobs provide breaks and a lunch hour that can be used for pumping. Other jobs are less flexible or less predictable, but many arrangements that allow breastfeeding have worked out for moms with those sorts of jobs, too -- from pumping just a minute or two multiple times a day, to formula feeding instead of pumping and just nursing nights and weekends.

[QUOTE]msanthrope (13,599 posts)
On Election Day, I will be working for President Obama to protect your vote. What will you be doing?
I am so proud of my President. So proud that I can work as an attorney for him and help voters vote. So grateful that on Election Day, I will watch men and women who weren't granted suffrage under the original Constitution of our land, vote. I had my first polling place assignment emailed to me last night. I will have my credentials later this morning.
On Tuesday, I will proudly wear the credentials of the Democratic Party and President Obama, and I will do my part to ensure that the 14th amendment, the 19th amendment, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are obeyed by those who find them cumbersome obstacles to their own power.
And on Wednesday, I will come back to OPs posted by other DUers that drone on and on about everything the President hasn't done for them. I will come back to OPs that use sources from the Libertarians, the far right, and the farthest left to attack our President. I will come back to posters who accuse me of being a 'DLCer', or whatever the purity trolls are calling Democrats who work for the party and President these days.
But the thing is...I won't be shaken by that ratfucking. I won't be shaken by the name calling.
Because I will have watched something glorious on Tuesday--I will have watched the franchise of millions of voters working together to elect a good man, a decent man, a man who cares for his Constitution, and for his citizens. I will have watched America vote. I will have watched the promise of that great document written not to far from my home come to fruition. And I will have done my small, but needed part, using the opportunity this great nation has afforded me to make sure that great document, our Constitution, is upheld for our fellow citizens who wish to vote.
And I will know that I helped. No, I didn't write a concerned OP on an Internet board...I wasn't part of the 101st Chairborne who recommended it...I passed no purity test. I got out the vote.
What are you doing on Election Day?[/QUOTE]
Me? I am going to work 7-3.......drive about a minute down the road....vote...........go about my normal life.

A BIG CONGRATS on reaching 2,400 consecutive days! Truly awesome! Wow, another milestone has arrived! : ) For most GBs (8M plus) they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But, even clicking on news article links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact the mods! Smartphones and tablets really help GasBuddies to post everyday! Keep going like a PRO Riverside GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks! Ron
Congratulations for being a gas buddy member for almost nine years. Earning 2.87 MM points and posting for 2400 consecutive days. Helping others save money on gas. That is real commitment May 2014 bring you and yours peace and joy. . Lets be buddies Thanks. Shep
Thanks for all your posting this past year. Wishing you and your loved ones a great 2014! Welcome back.

I tried the voltage from my home powersuply, which should be 120 voltage, but this thing gives about 180v, tried a 1.5v battery, it reads about 2.0v. What a waste of time, get to return it.

Can't beat the versatility, accuracy and ease of use for the price.
Columbus, GA
This meter works exactly as advertised in all ranges. It is conveniently sized and has a very tough and durable case. Even if you hook it up wrong it will still work. Battery life is great.
Kensington, MD

I am a nerd engineer that feels every room in the house needs a multimeter to diagnose electrical problems. This Craftsman multimeter is compact enough to fit in a drawer. The plastic case makes is resilient when dropped from atop a 5' ladder. A feature it lacks is an audible tone when checking continuity
Amarillo, TX

cheap as chips (as we'd say at home). survived this past year with a few knocks. reasonably accurate - tested against a much better multimeter which i leave on my bench.
Chesapeake, VA

I purchased this multimeter a few weeks ago and have been very pleased thus far. For the money I think that it is quite solid. Thanks for the deal Sears !
Daly City, CA
via sears.com
I was a little hesitant to purchase after reading some of the reviews but went forward with it anyways, got home hoping all was well but wasn't after testing the meter. Everything functioned except Amp reading. It would be a good meter if it tested Amps, so basically wasting my gas to pick it up, then to return is four dollars gas, half of what the meters purchase price. So don't do it and heed to the negative reviews and save yourself the hassle and don't play roulette hoping you'll get a fully functional meter.
Manchester, NH

This is a great tool even for a novice electrician. I don't know anything about it, but good to have when the father in law comes over and he can do electrical work.
Edison, NJ
via sears.com
I mainly use this for measuring voltage levels and it does that job very well. However, you do have to manually set the range for the voltage like 0..20 or whatever since it's not an autoranging device and it does require a 9V battery which are more expensive than using those AA type batteries.
Bakersfield, CA
via sears.com
This is a very basic DMM and does have some issues with its design. The meter does not have an auto-shutoff so if accidentally left on it will drain the 9V battery. VAC only has two ranges (200V, 600V) which limits its accuracy when measuring smaller AC voltages. The DMM does feature five VDC ranges from 0.2V to 600V. Current measurements are made with two ranges 0.2A and 10A for both AC and DC. The 0.2A range measurements are made with the meter leads in the same position as voltage measurements so if you forget to switch measurement modes after taking a current measurement you can easily pop the internal fuse or damage the meter. For 10A current measurements it is required that the meter lead positions be swapped but there is no warning chime if you switch to a voltage measurement mode and forget to swap the leads so again you can accidentally pop the internal 10A fuse or damage the meter. With all these issues in mind if you are in need of a cheap meter for basic measurements it will do the job but you have to be very aware of how you use it to prevent accidental damage to the meter.
Clayton, NC

I bought this meter several years ago, and it has served me well. I cracked the LCD treating it rough, but it still works fine. When it went on sale for Christmas, i bought 3 more as gifts.

Brooks Ashmanskas, Vincent D'Onofrio and Zoe Kazan Join Ethan Hawke in New Group's CLIVE, Now thru 3/9
The New Group has announced that Brooks Ashmanskas, Vincent D'Onofrio and Zoe Kazan have joined the cast of Clive, up next in the company's 2012-2013 season. Written by Jonathan Marc Sherman and directed by and featuring Ethan Hawke in the title role, Clive's official Opening Night is set for tonight, February 7 at 7:00pm. This production is slated through March 9 at The New Group at Theatre Row (The Acorn Theatre / 410 West 42nd Street).
Inspired by Bertolt Brecht's inflammatory play Baal, Clive tracks a dissipated songwriter in 1990s New York City from the hedonistic heights of seduction and consumption into an ecstasy of self-destruction. This production reunites playwright Jonathan Marc Sherman and director Ethan Hawke, who teamed previously at The New Group on Things We Want (written by Sherman, directed by Hawke, 2007 extended run). At once a celebration and a nightmare vision of life lived for pleasure, Clive boasts an eclectic selection of classic American songs performed live. Ethan Hawke appears as in the title role, joined by Brooks Ashmanskas, Vincent D'Onofrio and Zoe Kazan in this world premiere production.
Jonathan Marc Sherman's plays include Things We Want (The New Group, 2007 extended run), Knickerbocker, Sophistry, Evolution, Sons & Fathers, Jesus on the Oil Tank, Serendipity & Serenity, Wonderful Time, Veins & Thumbtacks (the basis for the movie The Jimmy Show) and Women & Wallace (which he adapted for American Playhouse).
Ethan Hawke's credits at The New Group include Blood From A Stone (OBIE Award) and Hurlyburly (Drama League nomination) as an actor; and as a director, A Lie of the Mind (Drama Desk nomination) and Jonathan Marc Sherman's Things We Want. Broadway: The Coast of Utopia (Tony nom.), Henry IV, The Seagull. Off-B'way: Ivanov (Classic Stage Company), Sophistry, The Late Henry Moss, The Bridge Project (Drama Desk nom.). Films include: Training Day (Academy Award nom.) and Before Sunset (Academy Award nom. as a writer, Best Adapted Screenplay). Hawke directed the films Chelsea Walls, Straight to One (also wrote) and The Hottest State (also wrote & appeared). He has written two novels.
Brooks Ashmanskas' Broadway credits include Promises, Promises; Present Laughter, The Ritz, Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me (Tony nomination), The Producers, Gypsy, Little Me, Dream and How to Succeed.... His Off-Broadway credits include Wise Guys, Labor Day, Songs for a New World, London Suite, It Changes Every Year and The Holy Terror. He has appeared in the films Julie & Julia (Dir. Nora Ephron) and Little Children (Dir. Todd Field). His television credits include "The Good Wife" and "All My Children," among numerous others.

General Description:
Major Findings:
• Most visitors thought the scale ladder showed the (relative) size of objects.
• Less than half of the visitors looked closely at or thought deeply about the nanoscale portion of the scale ladder poster.
• Removing the ruler from the scale ladder did not have a measurable effect on visitors' interpretation of its main message or their definition of nano.
• When reading a scale diagram to determine the size of a nano-sized object, visitors looked more at the objects that bracket the nanoscale category than at other objects on the ladder.
• Most visitors found the scale ladder helpful in understanding an exhibit about nanostructures, but some visitors felt that the scale ladder was confusing and / or superfluous to the exhibit.
• Visitors were more likely to see the scale ladder's relevance when it included items specifically mentioned in the exhibit.
• A more diverse (and possibly more familiar) set of objects did not lead to a better understanding of the nanoscale.

2K Sports has re-vitalized interest in their baseball series with the wildly popular Million Dollar Challenge. It was a clever marketing ploy a couple of years ago and has resulted in increased sales, a couple of winners of a million dollars, and rampant accusations of loophole exploitation and flat out cheating. Setting aside the Million Dollar Challenge, however, how does the game actually perform? Being able to produce the only baseball game across multiple platforms, 2K Sports needs a strong title to match up against the PS3-exclusive MLB: The Show. While many improvements have been made, there are still some flaws in the title itself, but it is gaining ground on The Show.
Opening up with the overall interface, it pains me to say that even the menu system can be difficult to learn, considering that the right stick opens up the navigation menu. It is pretty simple early on, but when I started getting into the specific modes, such as Franchise or My Player mode, it can be somewhat difficult to track down specific options that I need or, rather, it can be misleading. Case in point, in Franchise mode, if I want to edit anything with your minor league squads, I will go into the minor league options menu. However, if I want to call any players up or send them down, I have to do it in a completely different menu. It takes a little time to know just where the options are that I am looking for are hiding in the menus.
Setting the lineups, rotations, and depth charts can be a little frustrating as well, especially in the Franchise mode. The CPU, of course, can help manage the team if the player is doing a heavy amount of simulating, which is to be expected for those who decide to play a 162 game season for their Franchise modes. However, even if I were to set all of the options to user controlled, when an injury pops up and I allow the CPU to auto-manage the lineup, it is going to change every last lineup that I have, even if it technically doesn't affect it. Players can even chance position on top of being moved in the lineup, which means that you have to go back and edit them all over again and remember not to let the CPU auto-manage an injury, even if it takes time to do so. This can be a minor annoyance to some, but downright infuriating to the hardcore players.
There are some good things about the interface, though. I found that I can manage just about every aspect of the game and the franchise in the menu as every single piece of information is at your thumbs. Whether I need to find a trade for a player that is no longer of use to me or to see what other players are available or a simple need of seeing my minor league team's progression, it is all there.
Moving over to gameplay, I found that most of my frustrations were put to rest, though it isn't a perfect experience by any stretch. Hitting starts out as quite a challenge as the learning curve of timing is a rough one. The camera angle is defaulted right behind home plate, giving a birds-eye view of the ball coming into the plate. As mentioned before, timing is everything. How well a player does will depend on the placement of the pitch, when the swing starts, and where the bat actually makes contact with the ball. Learning to lay off of bad pitches is paramount, as they almost always result in lazy fly balls or terrible ground outs. The game will offer some help with this, letting you know if the swing was early, very early, late, or very late. If there is no pop up at all in the zone to alert you, which means the timing is correct but the bat didn't get close to the ball.
Defenders and base runners are a mixed bag, when it comes to their mannerisms, mechanics, and motions. Some of the motions that players do to make a great defensive play are quite impressive, especially by middle infielders making stabs at ground balls in order to turn double plays or get a runner out at first. However, some of them are just not realistic. The ball will go through one or both players in order to actually turn the double play, no matter the angle that a player is at. Just like how it's incredibly rare to see a left handed shortstop, I've never seen a ball literally go through a player in order to turn two. Building upon the mannerisms and motions, some of the motions are just incredibly long and unnecessary. When charging a ground ball, I've found that a player will not react immediately to making a throw and, instead, pick up a ground ball, run a few steps, and then start the throw. In baseball, it's a game of inches. A few extra steps are going to cost a player a ground out and extend an inning. Having this happen too many times can be very frustrating. Base runners suffer from some similar glitches and problems, such as late starts on tag ups or, even worse, running through a bag when commanded to stop, though making it far more frustrating is that they should be tagged out and the runner just blows past the defender.
Pitching is where this game truly shines. Despite the issues that I've talked about, it's all worth it when trying to go through a lineup with a strong pitcher. The mechanics are the same as the previous couple of versions, forcing a player to complete a specific motion on the right analog stick to complete a pitch as well as to make sure it has maximum power and break. Not holding it long enough will result in a weak pitch. Holding it too long results in an overthrow. Bad gestures on the motion result in a mis-aimed pitched, while a completely wrong gesture results in a wild pitch. As a game progresses through the innings, stamina will dictate how hard it becomes to complete pitches. The meter will fill up much faster, especially when a pitcher is tired, forcing a much quicker motion. It is possible to complete these motions even with no stamina, but the pitcher may as well be throwing batting practice fastballs at that point. Knowing when the starter is done and when to go to the bullpen is vital as there is a steady drop off once the tiredness sets in. Also, the umpire will expand or shrink his strike zone at will. I didn't really find any evidence that it has to do with how a pitcher is doing, however. It just seems to be quite random.
My Player mode has made some improvements from last year, though it still does not hold a candle to the amount of depth and customization that is seen in The Show. Player customization in MLB 2K12 suffers from a lot of players having the exact same type of face and just different shapes of their face and head. Unfortunately, many of these players that are customized end up with the duck face and a trembling lower lip that is a graphical glitch when pitching. The stats, however, are very much the core of a player's focus in My Player mode. As the season progresses, challenges in-game are available for bonus points. Production will give more available points to burn and, of course, lead to call ups to the next level. Improving a player never ends even after getting to the big leagues, but I really feel as though that most of the time and energy was spent on Franchise mode and not My Player. It's very simplistic, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but when stressing a superstar mode, players want to see full control and not a skeleton mode.

* The product in this article was sent to us by the developer/company for review.
MLB 2K12 has made some strong strides to improve the overall product. Pitching, as one would expect with the Million Dollar Challenge, is the strongest aspect of this game, and it can be fun if a player enjoys just doing that. The hitting system has taken great strides, but a lackluster My Player mode and many little glitches and graphical blunders take away from an overall product. Improvement still needs to be there in order to get to the big leagues of gaming.
